Girls Push for Flag Football in Blue Valley | Topeka News

Girls in Blue Valley are ready to take the field—despite their high school district pulling the plug on flag football this year due to budget woes and falling enrollment. A local league is stepping in to keep the game alive, fueled by the girls’ passion and community support. Co-founder Crystal Ford says these athletes are eager to wear their school colors and compete for their peers. While the district cites special education funding shortfalls and declining numbers, 28 other Kansas schools already offer flag football. Parents are sounding the alarm on systemic underfunding, but the rallying cry is action—not blame. The community is being urged to unite, raise awareness, and secure the resources needed to give every student the chance to play.
